Hussein Quotes
English law and United States law are different. The George W, Bush administration has argued that regime change—removing Sadaam Hussein from power and control of Iraq—would be legal under U. S. law. This belief was never tested in the American Courts during the Iraq War.
The reference was to Iraq president Sadaam Hussein. The CIA had determined his location and to implement the George W. Bush administration’s policy of regime change, the Air Force had been ordered to send two Stealth Bombers with “bunker buster” bombs to assassinate Sadaam. The mission was completed flawlessly and both planes hit the target destroying it completely. However, it turned out that the CIA intelligence was inaccurate, and Sadaam was not at the location. This quotation is often used to illustrate the problem of believing early action reports and the fallibility of CIA intelligence at the time.
